I joked about the narrative that "he's a whole 12 days from turning 18, he's just an innocent child and doesn't know any better!" but apparently I was pretty damn close considering it's only 1 month later and he's now 18....
Records show Jesus Ayala, 18, the accused driver, who was 17 at the time of the alleged crime spree, is facing 18 charges including murder, attempted murder, battery with use of a deadly weapon, leaving the scene of an accident, and numerous larceny and burglary charges.
Ayala, and Jzamir Keys, 16, who is identified as the second suspect, are both due to appear in Las Vegas Justice Court on Thursday afternoon. Key, who police identified as the passenger in the vehicle, is facing murder, attempted murder and battery charges.
Police revealed at a news conference on Tuesday that the teens were involved in a crime spree starting with a hit and run of another cyclist. The 72-year-old man survived. Police said they believed Keys was the driver at that time.
In the video recorded by the passenger, the teens are seen hitting another car on the road moments before hitting and killing Probst.
The teens had stolen four cars that day, police said.
The 8 News Now Investigators have learned that Jesus Ayala, the accused driver has a lengthy record in the juvenile system.
Keys' mom is an absolute fucking piece of shit and needs jail, too:
The 8 News Now Investigators reached out to his mother by phone. She initially hung up and then responded to a text message stating her family was not making any statements or addressing any accusations without their legal team.
My sons side of the story will be told, the truth, not the inaccuracies the media will try to portray, the text read.
As for Jzamir Keys, the accused passenger, the 8 News Now Investigators have learned he was in the child welfare system at 8 years old. His mother was charged with five counts of child abuse in 2016, according to court documents. Police said they found her five children ages two to nine years old home alone without access to food, a knife left on a kitchen counter, and the house in poor condition.
